Saratoga Race 8 - Race 8 - Allowance
IRON DOME (6) had a bit on his rivals last time with an impressive 10 lengths win over 1811m at this track (Dirt). Has been in sound form this prep with a win and two minor placings from five outings. Bold showing expected. SENEGAL (7) met with solid support last start over 1609m at Aqueduct (Dirt) when second, beaten 3 lengths. Extra trip is important. Worth another chance. TOGA DAN (4) got the prize two runs ago at Aqueduct. Less impressive last time out when third over 1811m at this track, beaten 9 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. REFUAH (10) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a third over 1609m at this track (Dirt) when beaten 4 lengths. Hard to fault of late.
